161: Capture (or deceive) the mind!

The heart ape had never been caught.

In fact, this was a false proposition.

The deeper Ye Su's understanding of the Ape Fist, the stronger his own power became; and the stronger his own power, the stronger the heart ape became.

The stronger the heart ape, the harder it was to catch.

It was the Martial Arts True Intent, and also the reflection of this martial art within his heart.

As his own strength increased, the heart ape always kept pace.

The original intention was that a stronger heart ape would be used to deepen the understanding of the Martial Arts.

Only by keeping up could one's understanding of Martial Arts become deeper.

Therefore, completely subduing it was truly a false proposition.

Even with the addition of the Running Horse True Intent, it still couldn't be subdued.

Unless Ye Su pushed the Ape Fist martial art to its ultimate end, fixing the strength of the heart ape.

Only then could it be caught.

However, in his professional progress, even a professional advancement hadn't appeared yet.

The peak of Martial Arts could potentially rush from low-level Martial Arts all the way to Xuanhuan.

How could he possibly reach it at this stage?

It was unsolvable.

No...

It wasn't exactly unsolvable.

The heart ape was an Incarnation of rules, but it also possessed a bit of autonomous consciousness.

“Ah... I’m going to die! heart ape, save me!”

Little Ye Su began his clumsy acting.

Look, you're bouncing around in my Sea of Consciousness.

You can't just watch me die.

You're not a cancer cell; you're the cub I nurtured myself after all!

And wouldn't you know it.

Little Ye Su's words actually made the heart ape start thinking.

When the heart ape thinks, God laughs.

This thing had a brain, but not much of one.

It was more like some kind of running program, just waiting for a specific command.

And the life-and-death crisis displayed by Little Ye Su was exactly that command!

The heart ape stopped its flight.

Little Ye Su understood in his heart.

He began to slowly approach.

In reality.

Ye Su was at an absolute disadvantage.

Fortunately, the internal defense of the Divine Weapon was very tough, firmly protecting Ye Su's body.

Otherwise, he would have been whipped into a bloody mess long ago.

Below, Shan Jun was itching to move.

He didn't have the timing.

Therefore.

Killing the Ant King required relying on Ye Su.

Yet he wanted to devour everything, so the timing of his entry into the fray was extremely important.

The Yao Race.

Still so greedy!

Shan Jun was like a gambler, wanting to go all-in on every wave.

Little did he know.

The Ant King's arrogance had already laid a trap for him.

“Ye Su, you have timing, and so do I!”

The Ant King was arrogant;

“Did you really think you wouldn't die?”

“In terms of individual strength, I am already the strongest in the world!”

“I want to see if the national destiny of your broken Great Xia can save you!”

The Ant King had the capital to be arrogant.

His path was very clear.

Using the momentum of timing to crush everything in his way.

No matter who you were, as long as you stood in his path, he would slaughter you all!

Kill Ye Su.

Kill Shan Jun.

Push into Great Xia.

The Insect Race would flourish.

And after the Insect Race flourished, it would feed back into himself.

He would truly seize all the spotlight and become the Protagonist of heaven and earth.

After that, no matter what solar term it was.

With timing, geographical advantage, and the support of the people.

He would be invincible everywhere!

“I don't need the Great Xia national destiny to save me!”

Ye Su's eyes became increasingly clear;

“Relying on timing is not my path.”

“Violence is always the ultimate means!”

“It's just the third stage—”

“It's not like I can't do it!”

In the Sea of Consciousness.

Little Ye Su was patiently coaxing the heart ape.

Finally.

Little Ye Su's hand touched the heart ape!

In the next second.

It felt as if his mind directly exploded.

A special power began to nurture and Rebirth within Ye Su's body.

This was...

The power of Martial Arts True Intent!

One could even remove the words 'Martial Arts.'

This was—the power of—True Intent!

Buzz—a terrifying airflow erupted from Ye Su's body.

The Second Stage Heart Ape Transformation directly burst apart, revealing Ye Su's original body.

And the black aura formed a giant ape; this giant ape was both illusory and solid.

It was filled with a tyrannical and primitive aura.

Then.

This tyrannical giant ape, like a whale swallowing water, rushed entirely into Ye Su's body.

He had no external changes.

But he seemed completely different!

If one had to speak of a change.

It was that—Martial Arts, as a thing, had officially ascended from low-level Martial Arts to high-level Martial Arts.

The third stage was a hallmark!

You would possess the power of True Intent.

It came from Martial Arts, yet was born from rules.

And the ultimate Martial Arts True Intent attribute of the heart ape was—Violence!

Ye Su felt his entire body filled with violence factors; it seemed as if in every cell, a heart ape was roaring!

At this moment, Ye Su seemed to be the Incarnation of violence.

“So, this is the third stage!”

Ye Su grinned.

The Ant King also laughed.

The stronger Ye Su was, the more timing bonus he would gain from killing him.

Cui Hu and the others were also greatly relieved.

As expected of Ye Su.

He always had something new held in his hand.

True, if he didn't have trump cards in hand, Ye Su wouldn't be the universally recognized uncrowned king of Paper Leaves!

Only Shan Jun's head was aching.

‘Damn it, the Ant King is seriously ill!’

‘Why are you explaining things?’

‘That freak Ye Su can't be given pointers; as soon as you point something out, he gets stronger.’

‘Now it's going to be fun; if you don't get beaten to death by him, it'll be a miracle!’

Shan Jun had wanted to go all-in to win.

He didn't expect Ye Su to already have a Royal Flush in hand.

Crap, time to fold!

Only this idiot Ant King still thought his four-of-a-kind could beat Ye Su.

Whew—Ye Su exhaled a long breath.

The third stage was really interesting.

However, the heart ape was a bit unhappy and a bit hard to coax; he'd deal with the opponent first.

Otherwise, if the heart ape went on strike, he'd be the one in the clown's seat!

“Come, let's try this so-called third stage!”

Ye Su moved.

His figure was like lightning, leaving distortions in the air.

With a slash of his blade, the Ant King actually used his arm to block.

Clang.

The sound of clashing metal rang out.

Heh.

Only a Divine Weapon can block a Divine Weapon.

It seemed the Ant King's whip was not ordinary.

Then, the two engaged in a dazzling exchange of strikes.

Basically, there was no holding back; every attack was full-force.

Amidst the continuous attacks, Ye Su also gradually discovered the true usage of the third stage.

True Intent was an additional attack.

Furthermore, this additional attack had an attribute.

His violence attribute was the simplest and purest.

As long as he kept attacking,

He could continuously increase his momentum.

After realizing this,

He suddenly discovered that in his Sea of Consciousness, the Running Horse was starting to get interested in the Overlapping Wave Slash.

It...

Was devouring the Overlapping Wave Slash.

Or rather,

The Second Stage granted by the Heavenly Horse Movement martial art was also about to be developed.

In any case, the Late Stage third stage was True Intent, and one could never have too much of that.

Who would complain about having too many additional attacks?

Ye Su was happy to see it happen.

In reality, his attacks became even more violent.

After all, this violence attribute was internally very similar to the Overlapping Wave Slash.

It should be able to accelerate the Running Horse's absorption and digestion of the Overlapping Wave Slash!

The confidence on the Ant King's face was gradually fading.

How did this guy Ye Su get more and more fierce as he fought?

Could it be that he was stronger than himself?

What a joke.

He absolutely didn't believe it.

timing was invincible.

Shan Jun had once suffered a great loss under the influence of timing.

He currently possessed timing, geographical advantage, and the support of the people; how could he possibly lose?

Boom!

A change occurred in the long whip in the blood-red Ant King's hand.

Suddenly, the long whip became straight.

Like a long spear!

He still had something up his sleeve!
